stonepaw, she/her, 7 moons
riverclan apprentice
a pale gray she-cat with dull blue eyes and soft fur.
Stonepaw sat in the Riverclan clearing with one paw folded under her, the other resting on the fish she was currently tearing into. Though it was a common food for cats to dislike, especially those outside of Riverclan, Stonepaw never minded their strong smell or metallic taste. If anything made her a true Riverclan cat, that was probably it. Stonepaw liked any and all food, really- whether that was berries, meat or fish. At least she had a healthy diet, whenever she could stomach it.
Without much else to do, Stonepaw's mind drifted to the topic of her apprenticeship. She had her ceremony a bit later than the rest of the kits, but she was finally a 'paw with her very own mentor, Adderstrike. Stonepaw hadn't been out training yet, or even left Riverclan camp, but just the thought of being an apprentice filled her with a little spark of warmth. Even thinking about picking ticks off the elders didn't dampen her excitement. It wasn't very visible on her face, no, but she was happy nonetheless.
And now that she was moving into the apprentice's den, maybe Stonepaw could even make some... well. The word was really too embarassing to use in her internal monologue, and she felt like even thinking about it would get her hopes up too much. She wasn't desperate or anything, she just... wanted someone to spend time with. Stonepaw had never really played with the other kits, or even talked to them for part of her life, too tired to move from her nest for hours on end. She held no resentment to the cats she grew up with, it was really her fault for not putting herself out there. She just felt like she couldn't.
Stonepaw's quickly glooming mood was expressed by a slight flattening of her ears. Thinking so hard wouldn't help anything... though, thinking hard was most of what she did with her freetime. She tried taking a bite of her fish again, but this time seeming a little down about it.
